Aston Villa v Newcastle Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

At least it will be 12 months unbeaten at home in the league for the first time in my lifetime.

[enigma]

Bizot did well I suppose.

[Tuscans]

fantastic point considering how shite we were going forward and a man down.

[AGRIPPA]

Better start than last year

[villadelph]

A lot to work on, still. Bizot looks a good pair of hands but some individuals had a worrying performance.

We deserved absolutely nothing and got a point, onwards and upwards.

[PaulWinch again]

Better start than last year

We won last year.

[Demitri_C]

Well done lads. A poor performance  but taking a point with 10 men against a good side is impressive. Happy with the point, clean sheet and protects our home record

Biz motm for me

[Proposition Joe]

We're up to second on alphabetical order, I'll take that.

[SoccerHQ]

Awful performance. Awful game. Good point.

The main positive aside from Bizot (how nice to have a competent number 2 again) is we now are unbeaten for over a year in home games in the prem.

Thought Cash stood up well after the red card but we look very stale in forward positions.

Badly need more pace in the team from the start, we have it on the bench and they need to be used more.

[Somniloquism]

Better start than last year

We beat Spam 2-1.

In 2023 we started the season with Newcastle, had a goal diff of -4, lost a key defender for the majority of the season and went on to make Champions League.  This year, we started at Newcastle, drew with them, lost a key defender for just a game, so we should be on for League Championship.  Marked improvement

[PaulWinch again]

Bizot good. The rest pretty dreadful.

At least we dug in after the red card and didn’t lose. But bloody hell we look miles off it. That starting 11 is far too one paced and lacking in invention.

[Olneythelonely]

We were poor throughout. Somehow got away with a point. Need massive improvements.

[OzVilla]

Poor first half, much better second until the sending off.

Looked sloppy and disjointed in midfield but worked hard for the point. Bizot MOTM for us.

Absolutely take a point from that.
